Answer:

The discount allowed per bag is kshs 4

while the discount allowed on all the 300 bags is kshs 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the discount allowed on the sales of the bag of maize.

From the question, we are told that the sales man allowed a discount of 0.2% on the maize sold.

Now, to find the amount of this, we proceed as follows;

What we simply need to do is to find 0.2% of the each of the price of the maize bags, and then we can proceed to find the total discount given on all maize bags sold.

The discount on each bag of maize would be;

0.2% of kshs 2000

That would be;

0.2/100 * 2,000 = 400/100 = kshs 4

Since there are 300 bags, the total amount of discount allowed is 300 * kshs 4 = kshs 1,200

The population of a certain country is expected to double every 32 years. The population of this country was 4.2 million people
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

2.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Population in year 2000 (A) = 4.2 million

Expected population every 32 years = 2 *A

The growth rate per year =?

The population figure after 32 years = (2 * 4.2 million) = 8.4 million

Using the exponential growth formula :

P(t) = A × (1 + r)^t

(1 + r) = g = Total growth percent

A = Initial population

t = time

P(t) = 8.4 million

8,400,000 = 4,200,000 × g^32

g^32 = (8400000/4200000)

g^32 = 2

Taking the root of 32 on both sides

g = 1.02189714865

g = (1 + r)

1.02189714865 = 1 + r

r = 1.02189714865 - 1

r = 0.02189714865

.rate = 0.02189714865 * 100

= 2.18971486541%

= 2.2% ( nearest tenth)

Find AB. Round the answer to the nearest tenth if needed.
Yuliya22 [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of segment lengths to the near and far circle intersection points is the same for both "secants". AD is a tangent, so the two intersection points are the same point. This gives ...

  AD² = AB·AC

  144 = AB(AB +10)

We can add 25 to complete the square.

  169 = (AB +5)² . . . write as a square

  13 = AB +5 . . . . . . positive square root

  8 = AB . . . . . . . . . .subtract 5

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

<h2>Yes, it anticipates enough variability in responses</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is

<em>"How many hours does each student at Bryan Middle School sleep?"</em>

<em />

This is an actual statistical question, because it's aimed to measure a variable: hours of sleep.

An important characteristic of a statistical question is that you get a range of answers, you have variability, which enables you to create distributions of that data set.

Therefore, the right answer is "Yes, it anticipates enough variability in responses".
